To ensure that the NIS proxy agent daemon, vasypd, does not cause any system hangs when you install, configure, or upgrade it, follow the steps for each supported Unix platform outlined in this section.
|
Note: Before installing and configuring the Authentication Services NIS components, you should have previously installed the Authentication Services agent software and joined the Unix machine to an Active Directory domain. |
You can find the vasyp.rpm file in the client directory for your Linux operating system on the installation media.
To install and configure vasyp on Linux
# /etc/init.d/ypserv stop
|
Note: You do not need to do this if you have not previously configured ypserv. |
|
Note: This option is not available on SUSE Linux (11 or later) or on Red Hat. |
The commands for doing this vary for the different supported Linux distributions. Please see your operating system documentation for instructions on disabling system services.
# /etc/init.d/ypbind stop
The commands for doing this vary for the different supported Linux distributions. Please see your operating system documentation for instructions on enabling system services.
# rpm -Uvh vasyp-<version>.<build number>.rpm
As part of the install process, vasyp is registered with chkconfig to start at system boot time.
ypserver localhost
You can use either localhost or the actual hostname.
# domainname example.com
where example.com is the domain to which your machine has been joined.
Set the NIS domain name permanently on Red Hat Linux by modifying /etc/sysconfig/network to have the following option:
NIS_DOMAIN="example.com"
where example.com is the Active Directory domain to which the machine is joined.
On SUSE Linux, modify the /etc/defaultdomain file to include only example.com where example.com is the Active Directory domain to which you are joined.
# /etc/init.d/vasypd start
# /etc/init.d/ypbind start
You can now use the NIS utilities like ypwhich and ypcat to query vasyp for NIS map data.
You can find the vasyp.pkg file in the client directory for your Solaris operating system on the installation media.
To install and configure vasyp on Solaris
Stop ypbind
# svcadm disable nis/client
Stop vasypd
# svcadm disable vasypd
Stop ypserv
# svcadm disable network/nis/server
|
Note: When installing the Authentication Services vasypd Unix component on Solaris 10 (or later), you must have the rpcbind service enabled on the host for this service to start. To enable it, run this command: # /usr/sbin/svcadm enable -s network/rpc/bind |
# pkgadd -d vasyp_SunOS_<platform>-<version>.pkg all
localhost
# domainname example.com
where example.com is the domain to which your machine has been joined.
|
Note: This only sets your NIS domain name for the current environment. |
example.com
where example.com is the Active Directory domain to which you are joined.
# /etc/init.d/vasypd start
Start ypbind with the following command:
# svcadm enable nis/client
You can now use the NIS utilities like ypwhich and ypcat to query vasyp for NIS map data.
|
Note: For Solaris 10 (or later), ypbind may not bind to vasyp until some actual NIS requests occur which can take up to 30 seconds. |
You can find the vasyp.depot file in the client directory for your HPUX operating system on the installation media.
To install and configure vasyp on HP-UX
# /sbin/init.d/nis.server stop # /sbin/init.d/nis.client stop
To ensure that the system ypserv daemon does not start at boot time, modify /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs and set the NIS_MASTER_SERVER and NIS_SLAVE_SERVER variables to 0.
|
Note: You do not need to do this if the machine is not configured as a NIS server. |
# swinstall -s /cdrom/hpux-<platform>/vasyp_<platform>-<version>.depot vasyp
localhost
# domainname example.com
where example.com is the domain to which your machine has been joined.
# /sbin/init.d/vasypd start
# /sbin/init.d/nis.client start
You can now use the NIS utilities like ypwhich and ypcat to query vasyp for NIS map data.
